The Intensively Follow-up Examinations for Asymptomatic MPS I Infants in Taiwan

March 2, 2022 updated by: Mackay Memorial Hospital

The Intensively Follow-up Examinations for Asymptomatic MPS I Infants From Nationwide Newborn Screening Program for Mucopolysaccharidoses in Taiwan.

MPS I newborn screening has been executed in Taiwan nationwide since August 2015. Infants who failed the recheck at recall were referred to MacKay Memorial Hospital for a detailed confirmatory diagnosis. Urinary first-line biochemistry examinations including urinary GAG quantification (DMB/Cre. ratio), two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D EP), and tandem mass spectrometry assay for predominant disaccharides derived from GAGs (i.e. CS, DS, HS, and KS) were performed. If the results were positive, a confirmative diagnosis was made according to the results of leukocyte enzymatic assay and molecular DNA analysis. Up to January 31, 2019, a total of 390,793 infants had been analyzed for MPS I, in those 11 suspicious cases were referred to MacKay Memorial Hospital for confirmation. The recall rates of MPS I was 0.0028%. Four of the 11 infants were confirmed to have MPS I. The prevalence rates of MPS I was 1.02 per 100,000 live births, respectively. Infants suspected of having MPS with a positive laboratory diagnosis but without any typical, clinical manifestations are not conformed to receive ERT under the treatment guideline of ERT for MPS in Taiwan. Distinctly, the clinical manifestations of MPS are irreversible and would be worse progressively while the symptoms have shown up. Receiving ERT at this time would effectively prevent the progression of illness, but, cannot rescue or reform the irreversible physical problems. By proceeding and undergoing an intensively long-term regular physical and laboratory examinations for asymptomatic infants with MPS I can effectively control the possibility of giving an ERT in a timely fashion.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study hypothesis is to proceed and to undergo an intensively long-term clinical management and laboratory examinations for asymptomatic infants with MPS I in order to be able to give an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in a timely fashion. The overall objectives of this study are summarized as follows, including: 1. To plan a three-month or six-month interval of recall process depending on the judgment of individual case by pediatric geneticist. 2. To recall the asymptomatic MPS I infants back to MacKay Memorial Hospital for MPS follow-up examinations, including regular physical examinations for the earliest presenting symptoms such as otitis media, abdominal or inguinal hernia, and coarse facial features, as well as the urinary biochemistry glycosaminoglycan (GAG) tests. 3. To give ERT in time whenever the typical MPS signs or symptoms showed up. 4. To achieve the aim of newborn screening for MPS, "Early detection, making early diagnosis, and providing early therapy can effectively prevent the development of severe clinical manifestations".

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

3 years to 8 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The confirmed MPS I infants would be the major objects in this study for long-term inspections and assessments. In addition to this, some referral cases would be included in this study if the case is with negative GAG tests, but having been identified with two nucleotide variations or with significant reduction of IDUA enzyme activity. The estimated subject population would be 12 (11+1) in the first year, 16 (12+4) in the second year, and 20 (16+4) in the third year according to the recall rate of MPS I and the realistic situation of referred cases from newborn screening centers to MacKay Memorial Hospital.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Find signs or symptoms of disease onset
Time Frame: First Year
The primary endpoint of this study is to find out any signs or symptoms of disease onset at the earliest time in order to diminish the irreversible developmental damage has taken place if the intervention of ERT is giving timely.
